might be a more than a bit controversial ... many native americans do not 
like the term "amerindian".  they consider themselves the origional 
custodians of the continent (even though their ancestors walked here from 
asia at end of the last ice age and spread out to fill the continent), they do 
not much care for the caucasians coming back yet-again (some interseting 
theories there) and laying claim / renaming the continent after a european 
explorer ...

there's always the bronze age irish name for america "iargleann" (old irish 
sp?) ... translation i was given was "land beyond the sunset" (ie: the land in 
the far west)
